Dress/outfit for work event

2 replies

Hi everyone, I’m hoping you can help me find a decent outfit for a work event -essentially a night out but a bit dressy.
I don’t often ‘do’ very dressy and I’d like to be comfortable but look professional.

I’m 5’2, size 14 with big boobs and a rounded stomach so I want something that takes all that into account! I don’t like high heels but happy with smaller heels.
If possible, I’d like the outfit to also be used when I need something formal for work meetings/presentations etc.

I’m open to any ideas! TIA

You don’t mention a budget, but this shouldn’t be too extravagant. I think you could start with a low key but glamorous blouse like this Cos top. It’s not clear how generously it’s cut but I’d be inclined to go a size up if necessary to ensure it drapes and skims elegantly.

For your dressy event you could pair it with satin trousers or a very simple and spare long skirt.

Then going forward you could wear it with more sober work trousers in tweed / flannel / cord, and add a jacket if necessary.
